University Heights is a neighborhood in Central San Diego, California. The area is filled with a number of restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, and artist studios primarily on Park Boulevard and Adams Avenue. Live entertainment can be found most nights.  Just a few miles and less than 10 minutes from Ocean beach and Downtown, this is a great neighborhood to escape all the hustle and bustle of the city, but still be close enough to all of the action.

Real estate

The neighborhood sits in a central San Diego location with a broad spectrum of housing options, from cottages, apartments and condominiums, to million-dollar homes. Thanks in part to the many different architectural styles of homes, and the close proximity to both downtown and the beaches, the area has experienced a surge in pricing in recent years, in both the residential and multi-unit housing markets.
